GMAT Club Timer Informer

Hi GMATClubber!

Thank you for using the timer!
We noticed you are actually not timing your practice. Click the START button first next time you use the timer.
There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:

Well, there were 40 people that were able to show up for the chat. All you really know is there are at least 40 people on the list. Try not to over think this. There are many variables that you don't know about and it's fairly impossible to tell what your chances are.

The chances might just be very slim...The college infact was ready to let the waitlisted candidates go...They asked us if we wanted to be on the WL. Had we said no, that would have been the end of story...Which means, they were ok with losing us... So that just means that they got a lot of applicants like me... And they are ok to let me go... Pretty discouraging... But Haas is my #1 choice school!!! ;(

I think it's more along the lines of admissions wants to make sure they have a current list of people that are interested in attending. If someone on the wait list got an admission somewhere else and decided to attend there, the adcom wants to take them off the wait list. It's only fair for everyone else on the list that way.

Honestly, you still have a half way decent shot at getting in. The class of 2016 facebook page only has 17 people on it so far. While that's not a completely representative sample of the class as of yet, should give you an idea of how many people they've actually let in to the program as of now. There are 240 slots in the class. So, there should be quite a few empty spaces left yet.

Just 17 so far! Thats leaves a lot of room for everyone else. No wonder that they have 40+ WL'ers...Guess we should all keep up the good faith and hope for the best!Thanks for the info packet82!!

If you scored less than a 700 on the GMAT, consider retaking it. Otherwise sit tight. There's not a lot else you can do.

How about exact 700? :D

Don't worry about it. As long as it starts with a 7, everyone is happy. The general rule of thumb I've found is you get one bad spot in your profile. Anything else starts to raise flags. So, if your GPA is below 700, try to change it. I know Haas' avg GMAT score is 692, but adcoms still like to see 700 or higher.

ROFL!!!! No it is definitely not packet82...Actually they have told that in one of the information session recently... Just wanted to sound like kenny0929!!

Lol! Good info this! Lets hope that most, if not all, in the waitlist get through. Are you guys working on sending another recommendation letter?

If they offered you the opportunity to send in another recommendation letter, do it. While chances are, your recommendations were great, there's always a chance that you got a recommendation that wasn't 100% on your side. Might as well water it down a bit with another one that's hopefully stellar.

The LinkedIn and FB page for EWMBA 16 has only 16-17 members. Are those the only admits for R1? Even if we take a 50% response rate we are looking at max 35 admits, that might be a positive sign. Whatever makes to keep the hope alive for next 6 weeks!!
